Everything about cars is treated with this insane level of ease and casualness that nothing else with their level of danger gets, I guess simply because they’re for common civilian use?
Forklift drivers are held to a much higher standard than car drivers, despite forklifts being much less dangerous
only because they haven't found a way to offload all the externalities of drunk speeding forklift drivers onto the public and the government yet.
its an insane libertarian thought experiment and not in any way realistic, but if capital owners that built cars, or roads, or whatever, any capitalist really, was liable for all the damage caused by drivers and maintenance incurred by rampant car dependency, and couldn't offload it, suddenly they'd care a lot more about this shit
